Obama makes Super Bowl pick!

In an interview with our new President, Obama was asked who he picked to win the super bowl.  When asked this question, most public figures would normally give some answer that didnt really say anything, but Pres. Obama made it clear he picked our Steelers:

"I have to say, you know, I wish the Cardinals the best," Obama replied. "You know, Kurt Warner is a great story, and he's closer to my age than anybody else on the field. But I am a longtime Steelers fan."

Now i wanna make it clear that i didnt post this to start some political debate, so please, none of that. I just found it curious how the President decided to actually root for a team instead of not picking sides. Lets make Obama proud, Go Steelers!

He stated he was a Steeler fan during the campaign.

I guess he wasn’t lying.

To the tune of the classic children's song "This Old Man" (the part with nick nack patty whack)

Big Snack, Silverback, take the Dawg Pound's Bone, the Black and Gold sent the Brownies crying home.

Well

At least I agree with him on ONE thing.

Obama knows how to win and pick a winner....

…I guess that’s what he has in common with Dan Rooney and the entire Steeler coaching staff (with maybe one exception).

He does owe us

He is president because of our win over the Redskins the night before the election.

God Bless the United States
God Bless our President (I voted against him, but he IS now our president)
But most importantly for Sunday, God Bless the Steelers!

Good point

The Steelers did decide it. I forgot about that odd presidential stat.
